Deterioration of Shock Components
The components within a shock absorber are made of metal, rubber and plastic, all of which eventually degrade through extended use, extreme heat, and adverse road and weather conditions.

Determination of a Qualified Service Provider
Not all symptoms of shock deterioration are readily discernable; after a thorough inspection, a qualified service provider may determine your truck’s shocks have worn to the extent that those units require replacement.
